(ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL)
WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROL™ (RSC)
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system provides stability enhancement
features such as Roll Stability Control™ (RSC), Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) and Traction Control (TCS) for certain driving situations.
The system includes an AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC on/off button, and a
“sliding car” icon
in the instrument cluster.
Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the
AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC performs a system self-check. During
AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC operation you may experience the following:
•
A rumble, grunting, or grinding noise after startup and when driving
off
•
A slight deceleration of the vehicle
•
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC indicator light will flash when the system
is activated.
•
If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the
pedal.
Traction Control
Traction Control helps your vehicle maintain traction, when driving on
slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel
spin. Excessive wheel spin is controlled by momentarily reducing engine
power and/or applying the anti-lock brakes. Traction Control is a driver
aid that helps your vehicle.
If your vehicle should become stuck in deep snow or mud, try switching
the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system off by pressing the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC button momentarily. This will allow your tires to “dig” for
traction. Remember to switch the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system back
on once the vehicle is no longer stuck.
If the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system is activated excessively in a short
period of time, the brake portion of the system will disable to allow the
brakes to cool down. In this situation, Traction Control will use only
engine power reduction to help control the wheels from over-spinning.
When the brakes have cooled down, the system will again function
normally. Anti-lock braking, RSC and ESC are not affected by this
condition and will function normally during the cool-down period.
If the vehicle is stuck in snow or mud or when driving in deep sand,
switching off the AdvanceTrac with RSC system may be beneficial so the
wheels are allowed to spin. If your vehicle seems to lose engine power
